New Life In Christ

Evangelical/non-denominational, Pastor/Minister

Thanks for this message. My Church is seeking to be intentional about our Evangalism mandate and since my husband is away, I have the task of Ministering this week. This message is precisely what our congregation needs. I hope to use some what you have shared here and contextualize it to our needs. Thanks again.

Thank You! I find myself scrambling this morning, for sermon material. My wife, who is the Pastor of our congregation is ill and the preaching duties have fallen on my head! We are preparing for a Vacation Bible School next week, so your sermon material has proven to be 'ideal' for such a time as this! Thank you again...God Bless!

The word "forgiveness" does not occur in Romans 8:1-4. The logic to ch. 7 ("therefore" in vs. 1) is not developed. You seem to equate "guilt" with "sin" and therefore "forgiveness" with dealing with guilt. Not totally incorrect, but not substantiated. I wouldn't comment on this, except that the sermon is billed as "expository", so I expect more. The entire message seems to be brought under the logic of one point, which is constantle and illogically repeated: I. When you trust in Christ you can be certain that you are truly forgiven. It needs either some work or some editing. (Baptist Missionary)

I was somewhat appalled at the comment by David Boyd on this sermon. I wonder if he is a Seminary professor looking to provide a letter grade of a sermon that does not meet his criteria. The message is clearly expository though not exegetical.
